Twelve Alnwick Harriers were in action on Sunday in the second of the club’s 2013 Grand Prix events, the Run Northumberland Half-Marathon at Kirkley Hall, near Ponteland.

Despite the snow and freezing temperatures it was a day to remember for a jubilant Phil Hemsley.

Phil was a superb 12th overall, easily winning the male 50 category in a brilliant 1.20.18.

Other performances of note were a great run by Pauline Aitchison, who agonisingly missed out on a half-marathon PB by just a few seconds, and by Denise Drummond, Ruth Doctor and Sarah Cross, in her first race as a Harrier, who all notched PBs.
